Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together, together Together we can cast away the fear Together we can wipe away the tear Together we can strip down the barriers And be one Don't want to talk about the weather Don't want to talk about the news Just want to get to the real you inside Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together, together Don't you think now is the time We should be feelin' Just want to simply say Won't let you slip away People want to talk about the future Don't want to linger on the past Just want to reach to the real you inside Forget cold glances and rejections Leave the things that separate Build on a trust that we can stand on Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together, together Finding all are insecure Opening the same door Leaving out a stubborn pride Seeing from another side Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together
